Having problems with your Digital Cameras ?

We have a Kodak V570 camera that is locked up will turn on and has 3 blue lights on at the same time with camera and nothing will operate did remove battery and tryed to reset camera but still locked up, is it time for a new Camera?

Answers :

The only solution is to send it in to United Camera for repair, main bord has gone bad. Kodak will still not admit problem, but with enough pressure they will reduce the 135.00 charge to half. It worked for me and now I have my camera back in good working order. Don't give up with the csr's, ask to speak to a manager.

My Kodak C913 camera keeps telling me that the memory card is protected and to reset switch on memory card. This happens with a brand new 1 GB card, or on the 4 GB cards I have. (I have tried different cards and its always the same message that pops up) No matter how many times I reset the lock, I still get the message. I love the camera but have only had it a few months and its driving me crazy.

BATTERY I have an older DSC-50 which works great...I bought the new W-170 and they both use the NP-BG1 batteries. I have used the newer battery in the DSC-50 camera and now when I try to use the orignal older battery my camera tells me (For use with compatible battery only) and then shuts down. I can still use the new battery in both cameras. I get the same response from the W-170 with the older battery. Battery has been great and has been holding a good charge... Any ideas?

My camera is a new purple polaroid 1834, I got it for Christmas. I tried to take a picture the other day and it took one, and then shut down with the lens still out. It will not turn on, and everytime I press the power button a green light flashes and it beeps three times, but nothing else happens. I have tried replacing the batteries with brand new ones..still nothing. I've tried to batteries and everything.What is going on and what can I do to fix it? Is it fixable?

It is fixable but best thing to do is take it back to where you got it for a replacement. Or send it in to Polaroid the lens gears are stuck and the zoom motor sounds like it has gone out. If you have no sucess doing that then let me kno ...

Hi,
I have a Nikon D300.
First problem - The battery started showing empty / full / then empty again. Bought a new battery, worked first time, then the same problem empty / full / empty.

Change the batteries and charger. Charged the two batteries but still show empty!
What do I do next?

My Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 won't turn on.? I have a Sony Cybershot camera model DSC-T70. It is a little over a year old. The camera takes a Rechargeable lithium ion battery (D type NP-BD1). A few months ago the camera no longer turned on. I have bought a new battery that I have recharged several times and it still will not turn on. I can see a red light going on in the battery compartment by the memory stick duo (mem card) that goes on when I insert the charged battery. I have also tried taking

My canon digital rebel (ds6041) wont turn on. I have already replaced the battery 4 times with new ones. All fully loaded. still doesn't turn on. I have taken out the mini battery inside the camera, on the internet it said that the camera then would reset itself, still doesn't turn on. Who has an idea, because I don't want to sent it to a reparation store.

My camera is stuck in setup mode. I have tried to reset using reset button, removed aa batteries overnight, and still stuck in setup. My apple computer still recognizes the camera using usb, but cannot get it to regular modes (the round selector on top does not seem to work when changing settings)

VTECH Kidizoom camera : even after battery change and pressing the reset button, the camera still wont turn on. Please advise. I have even tried changing the new batteries but still the same problem

The camera consistently looks up. I have to open the battery chamber to reset the camera. I can only take a few pictures at a time before the camera locks up. I have put new batteries in the camera and this has not helped.

Well as you can see this is not a battery related problem. But before we come to the conclusion that its a faulty control board lets try a few things. Did you try formatting the card? If not back up all your pictures and format the card. Corrupted fi ...

My Kodak Z650 camera just won't switch ON. I used the camera a few weeks ago and it was working fine and after using it, I removed the battery and packed it away for next use. The next time i tried using the camera it just wouldn't switch ON just like that. I bought new batteries it didn't help. The camera has never been dropped or anything but it won't switch ON.

Hi there Make sure the new batteries are fully charged before used. After that remove the memory card & try to power on. If its not ON then i suggest you remove the battery & check the that place for any sulfur layer( green colored ) are the ...

My camera fell down in the water. I didn't put it on until such time that arrived home. My husband opened it and removed the sand from the sides of the camera. It was just basically cleaned. However, everytime I would use it, it will only last for a few minutes then it would say "Battery empty". I've tried different cables already to charge it and even the universal charger but still it won't. No word that would say charging will come out. I am not also sure if its the battery or the camera that

Olympus T100 Digital Camera

Hello,
So i got this camera... and i left it on the dashboard for less than 10 min.. and i tried to make it work again.. But every time i try to turn on the camera.. its on for about 2 seconds and then turns off again.. What do i do?
i went to the seller and he said, hes has had this problem with other cameras before.. and he told me to get a new battery, so i did! but it still doesnt work! help?

By leaving it on the dashboard, I'm assuming you mean it got hot for less than 10 minutes. It only needs to reach critical temperature for 5 seconds to cause damage. Your camera is probably literally "fried". ...

I have an Olympus e510 that I bought new 2 years ago. The other day I got it out to use it and it will not turn on. I purchased a new battery, charged it, and it still will not work. When I removed the battery from the charger the light on the charger was green. I decided after the camera would not turn on I put the battery back on the charger. At that time the charger was showing a red light. Could the charger be going bad?

Olympus Evolt E-510 Digital Camera

Camera will not "click" to take a picture. I had two old batteries which I charged -- no help. Then I bought a new battery on line -- still no good.
I have noticed over past several months camera seems "reluctant" to take a picture -- might have to try a few times to get it to "snap."

There may be dirt or debris that collected under the button causing it not to work properly. Try using an electronics cleaner on the button. This will clean out any dirt and hopefully allow the camera to "snap" pictures better. Here is a link to e ...
